Description

Nixon proposes a new Vietnam exit plan

TLS as president signed “RN,” one page, 6.75 x 8.75, White House letterhead, May 11, 1972. Letter to Pennsylvanian Congressman George A. Goodling, in full: "It was most encouraging to learn of your forceful expression of support for the peace proposals I presented to the Nation this past Monday evening. Acceptance of these proposals, I believe, will bring an end to the killing, a return of our prisoners of war, a withdrawal of all forces with honor, and continued progress toward peace for all countries that have suffered for so long in this conflict. I want you to know that you have my deepest gratitude and warmest appreciation for your support of these objectives." In fine condition, with a light paperclip impression to the upper left corner. On May 8, President Nixon withdrew his demand for a withdrawal of all North Vietnamese forces from South Vietnam as a precondition for a peace agreement. If all US prisoners of war were released and an internationally supervised cease fire took place, Nixon affirmed that the US would cease bombing and withdraw from South Vietnam within six months.
